Justification:
Even though there is no information regarding the population size and trends for this species, survey data indicates that it is still abundant throughout much of its range. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.

The species is known from the Mekong (from the mouth upriver to Vientiane, Lao PDR), Mae Khlong (the mouth to at least Kanchanaburi), Bang Pakong (from the mouth to at least Prachinburi) and Chao Phraya (the mouth upriver to at least Ayutthaya) river drainages in mainland Southeast Asia (Ng 2003).

The threats to this species are unknown, since there is no information on the biology of this species and therefore the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown.
